Policy overview
Want It Now is a place where buyers can tell sellers exactly what they're looking for by posting a message (want ads) to the Want It Now area. Sellers review these messages and respond to the buyer with the item number of their matching listing.
Want It Now postings are allowed only in the Want It Now area of eBay and have to follow eBay policies. Responses to Want It Now posts should be about the item in the post.
Make sure you follow these guidelines. If you don't, you may be subject to a range of actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.
